One thing i got a my space email from Scott B, Man this guy has taken off!, i used to work with scott back in Valentinos piazza, he got a art degree the same tiime i did 95 or so, he wasn't into the one man band thing yea but i remeber him trying to figure out what the fuck he was going to do ? Valentinos Piazza was like a catching drain fro all the san marc stonners, and people seem to graitate there like a clubhouse, i even worked there a one time.
Under dan the former owner and now roomate over at the chicken house in san marc, he said an i always love this remark i was one of the worst piazza makers in history, of his being a bosss, hummm.
One thing i like about Scott and can identify with is the do it your self country grit that is the music and maybe art biz, even know art crowds arn't like music crowds,
One of the curses i always felt frome other artist sucked into the Austin music/art scene was that there were always people showing up to your gigs and if you were good you got following, hummm seem a bit odd in the rest of the art world, where its who you knows who pays for your creds. but i would degress you do have to have something that captivates people for a moment, .
Spoiled and a bit cultic i would characteris the artist/musician types, outta Austin , one cause once your involved with shows and bar culture, your sucked in and rarely ever leave, you becom known and respected in this society that meets weekly , what art scene can boast that stats,.
One of my refreances to my taste in things, meaning what i like to make, i i would say , i have the 30's blues man curse, what this means is its an infectuious life style that isn't about winnning but more about how you play the game, contry hardships, myths and superstions, and lets not forget bitchs!
I would refeance Scot as an example of sorta what i was or am into , old fation, idealistic and complete 90's style of slacker bluesman white trash sernerios, and
i always felt its completely Texan and is a contimuwation of the 70-80 Texas Funk singer song writer type of stuff. hard, not pretty or healing .,
